I do not know what's going on. Was doing great for awhile. Feeling rested and 'alert' during the day, sleeping 4-8 hours at night. But, I was taking Xanax at night, it's highly addictive, and I asked to be taken off it. Instead, we are trying the new Ambien CR. It's time-released, and most chemicals only give me 2 hours sleep and then I'm awake the rest of the night. Took it last night. Slept two hours BUT was really stressed over the assassination of a CHP officer friend that day. Okay, so I'm giving it a try tonight. It's 3:14am PST, and I'm awake and watching some stupid show called elimiDATE where women so who can out-slut each other. Wow. What fun. I've been warned that Ambien acts fast and to be near the bed. Um . . . how fast is fast? Well, I am very stressed today also. Sat here and sobbed for about 45 min. Eyes burn like heck, but feel "unburdened". (I'm so glad I'm a girl and it's okay to cry.) Now, to be fair, the doctor did recommend 1-2 5mg tabs *as needed*. I've only taken one each night to give it a fair trial. Will try two -- geez, that would be tonight as it's in the wee hours of today -- provided I don't pass out from exhaustion before then.
And why am I crying? I was having anger issues again so we added 37.5mg at night to the 75mg I take in the morning. I'm not acting out anger, now my eyes look like I was in a bar fight.
Think I'll channel-surf for awhile. Oh, please anything but elimiDATE.
